I'll give it a 4 star because it does have the value, it just wasn't my cup of tea. It was one of the stops during a day tour in Langkawi. It's quite big and has lots of gifts to a previous PM, much loved in Malaysia from what I gathered. If you are into Malay history and an array... More

It's about 30 minutes drive from Cenang Beach. Very nice.. Has all the gifts received by former PM from various leaders around the world.. My personal fav is the gift from Margaret Thatcher! Go there and look for it... very kinky! :)

Did an unexpected visit at the Galeria Perdana after doing the mangrove cruise next door.

The museum holds a wide range of artifacts and gifts ranging from Dr. M's early days as... More

The Galeria Perdana showcased exhibits from gifts from all over the world presented to Dr Mahathir, Malaysia's longest serving Prime Minister. When it first opened the museum was impressive, well maintained and well curated. On a recent visit back, some of the exhibits clearly needed care (eg, polishing and dusting), one of the display cases had a spider in it... More

This is an interesting collection of gifts given to the Prime minister by various countries and statemen, everything from vintage cars, paintings, gold ornaments and canddles. This a mondern building but the ceilings are absolutely beautiful and air conditioning is excellent.

This interesting collection of crafts, automobiles, paintings, ceramics, swords, guns, clothing and numerous other articles was an unusual find in Langkawi. A large building, well maintained in a quiet setting. We enjoyed the visit, a bit of history doesn't hurt anyone! We had hired a car so this was just one of our stops on route. Spent about 45 mins...

This place is well worth a visit whatever the weather. the building itself has gorgeous ceilings in parts. The collection of gifts for the Prime Minister is vast and has a large variety of items, cars, weapons, glass, paintings... It's interesting to see the different gifts from other countries. You can spend well over an hour here. A high class... More

We stumbled across this museum by accident on a very rainy day. It contains gifts from other nations presented to the former Malaysian Prime Minister. A very impressive collection, cheap entrance 10 rm and a great way to kill a couple of hours, especially if the weather is bad.
